According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, recently approved MiCA regulations threaten both banks and stablecoin issuers.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has raised concerns that the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation poses a systemic risk not only to stablecoins but also to the broader banking system.

“The problem that I have with MiCA is that instead of making the system more secure, it’s actually creating an incredibly big systemic risk,” Ardoino told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview.

The MiCA regulation, which took effect on June 30, imposes stringent limitations on stablecoin operations across the European Economic Area. Notably, it mandates that at least 60% of reserves backing stablecoins must be held in EU bank accounts.
